Study summary

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, crossover and multi-center study to evaluate the clinical breakage and slippage of a new synthetic polyurethane male condom compared to a commercially available standard latex condom.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, crossover and multi-center study to evaluate the clinical breakage and slippage of a new synthetic polyurethane male condom compared to a commercially available standard latex condom.

The duration of participation for each couple is approximately 6 weeks. Study subjects are given a set of one condom type to use for up to three consecutive weeks to complete each evaluation and then return for a set of the other condom type for another period of up to three weeks of evaluation.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the total clinical failure rate of a new test condom is comparable with the total clinical failure rate of a legally marketed latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse.

The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical slippage and breakage of the polyurethane and latex condoms, as well as user acceptance about using the devices and adverse events.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The total clinical failure rates for the test and control condoms

    The total clinical failure rate of a new test condom is comparable with the failure rate of a commercially available latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse as reported by study participant questionnaire.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical / Non-clinical slippage rates acceptability; and Adverse events

    Evaluate the slippage rates of the polyurethane and the commercially available latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse, as reported by the study participant questionnaire.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  2. Clinical/non-clinical breakage rates

    Evaluate the breakage rates of the polyurethane and the commercially available latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse, as reported by the study participant questionnaire.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  3. User acceptance

    Evaluate the user acceptance rates of the polyurethane and the commercially available latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse, as reported by the study participant questionnaire.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  4. Adverse events

    Evaluate the number of adverse events of the polyurethane and the commercially available latex condom when used during vaginal intercourse, as reported by the study participant questionnaires and study Primary Investigators.

    Time frame: 6 weeks
